Report: White Sox close to acquiring Lannan

John Lannan - S - WAS - Jul. 31 - 1:49 pm et

The Score 670 Chicago reports that the White Sox are close to acquiring John Lannan from the Nationals. It's unknown just who the Chicago would be sending over in the deal, but this is Jim Bowden we're dealing with, so anything is possible. Josh Fields would make some sense. Lannan is under control through 2013, and he can keep the ball on the ground, which would make him a nice fit in Chicago
